SLADKY, F IMILWAUKEE', WISCON$IN, ASSIGNOR TO NATIONAL ENAMELING AND STAMPING COMPANY, INC., OF MIL'WAUKEE, WISCONSIN RECEPTACLE ATTACHMENT i Application filed July 15,

This invention relates to receptacle attachfilling automobile radiators whereby the attachment not only forms a reinforcement for the outer end of the spout but provides a suitable support or rest for the outer end of the spout and is adapted to rest on the filling cap while the radiator is being filled.

receptacles through the inlet neck thereof, but

Another object of the invention is the provision of an attachment to be applied to the discharge spout of a receptacle whereby to not only form a support for the spout when filling also provides protection for the outer end of the spout and reinforces the spout at the outer end thereof where the restricted discharge opening extends at an angle to the main spout. lVith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings wherein Figure l is a perspective View of a receptacle illustrating the application of my invention;

Figure 2 is a detail section, illustrating the 5 use of the invention; and

Figure 3 is a detail section on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, it will be noted that I have illustrated a receptacle 1, which may be of any size or design and is provided with the usual handle 2 for transporting and supporting the receptacle, and is also provided with the usual hand grip 3 which is used when emptying the contents of the receptacle.

Extending outwardly from one side of the receptacle at an incline with respect thereto is a spout 4 tapering toward its outer end and provided with a lateral extension 5. This type of receptacle is sold upon the market and in View thereof, I have proved detachment, which not only reinforces 1929. Serial No. 379,542.

particularly for use in filling automobile radiators and is not'only used at service statlons, garages and similar places, but is used equally as well-1n the home, and a great deal of trouble has been experienced in protecting the lateral projection 5so that it will not become detached from the main portion of the spout,

provided my imthe spout at the junction between the latera extension and the main bodyof the spout, but serves as a support for the spout when filling an automobile radiator or similar receptacle, as shown in Figure 2. i

The attachment comprises a single piece of material substantially oval-shaped in design and formed with a central opening 6, adapted to receive the lateral extension 5 of the spout. The inner end of the oval-shaped device is bent around the outer end of the spout 4, as shown in Figure 3, to securely embrace the spout at this point, and if found desirable, may be soldered in position at the inner end of the oval-shaped body.

As the opening 6 in the body 7 is approximately located at a central point, one end of the body 7 extends substantially half of its length beyond the extension 5, as shown in Figure 2, whereby the entire device will form a suitable support for the spout in filling dif ferent sized openings. It will be apparent from the showing in Figure 2, that the device is sufficiently large to support the spout upon different sized filling necks or other inlets.

In forming the attachment, it is stamped from a single piece of material with the opening 6 stamped centrally thereof. The device is then applied to the extension 5 and the inner end of the body 7 bent around the smaller end of the spout 4 to conform to the simple in construction and can be secured in position in a very short space of time and is extremely eflicient in not only reinforcing the discharge spout of the receptacle but I serves a very useful purpose-in supporting the outer end-of= the spout when fillingre ceptacles-pf different characters.

While I have shown and described. the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will 10* be apparentthatslightchanges may-be made a in the constructionwhen putting the invention into practice without departing ,from the spirit of the same or the scope of the appended claims. .15 I claim:
